The Video Head Impulse Test in the acute stage of posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.
Article in Acta otorhinolaryngologica Italica : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di otorinolaringologia e chirurgia cervico-facciale, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveStudy the high-frequency vestibulo-oculomotor reflex in posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) through Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT).
methods150 patients suffering for the first time from posterior canal BPPV were studied. Posterior canal vestibulo ocular reflex (VOR) gain was analysed through stimulations in right anterior-left posterior and left anterior-right posterior planes before treatment, immediately after resolution of the acute stage and one month later. Results were compared with a group of 100 healthy individuals.
resultsNo significant difference between the study the control groups was observed, except for normalised asymmetry ratio of the posterior canal which was significantly higher in the study group. VOR gains of both affected posterior canals and contralateral healthy posterior canals were not significantly correlated with the VOR gain of ipsilateral and contralateral anterior canals.
conclusionsvHIT does not seem to represent an essential tool to study typical posterior canal BPPV in patients affected by this disease for the first time. Different results might be expected in relapsing forms, non-responsive forms, long lasting forms, or atypical variants in which major damage could be provoked by the persistence of otoconia in the canal or by its complete or partial jam.
